Valgrind wasn't very useful, but stepping through in gdb showed that the
unlinking and freeing of the extension node was setting the parent->next
value to NULL, hence the program wasn't working as expected.

In the end I went with a different approach, I wrote a function to
create a list of node pointers where the node name was extensions and
then iterated over that list unlinking and freeing the nodes.  Kind of
like getElementsByTagName.
